Heather Graham has gracefully embarked on the cast of the thrilling They Will Kill You, a heart-pounding production helmed by Nocturna Pictures, the recently forged horror arm of Skydance Media and the visionary duo, Andy and Barbara Muschietti. Co-financed and distributed by New Line Cinema, this feature promises to chill spines under the masterful direction of Kirill Sokolov, as filming commences mid-September.
Zazie Beetz takes center stage in They Will Kill You, a horror narrative infused with dark humor that paints a sinister portrait of a woman unwittingly stepping into a web of mystery. Beetz portrays a character who responds to a seemingly innocuous housekeeping ad in a enigmatic New York City skyscraper, oblivious to the long history of disappearances lurking within its walls. This project has been likened to a harmonic blend of Ready or Not's edge-of-your-seat suspense and The Raid's adrenaline-fueled intensity.
While Graham's character remains shrouded in secrecy, akin to a resident lurking in the shadows of the high-rise, she joins an illustrious cast that includes Oscar winner Patricia Arquette and the iconic Tom Felton, renowned for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise, among the tower's enigmatic inhabitants.
The script, penned by Sokolov and Alex Litvak, masterfully weaves a tale that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger produce through Skydance, alongside the Muschiettis and Dan Kagan (Longlegs), ensuring a level of craftsmanship and intrigue that is unparalleled.
Executive producers Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder, who oversee Nocturna Pictures, along with Sokolov, Litvak, and Carl Hampe, bring their expertise to the project, ensuring that They Will Kill You will be a cinematic experience that haunts viewers long after the credits roll.
Graham's career trajectory has been a rich tapestry of diverse roles, yet her impressive resume seldom weaves through the chilling realm of horror films. Nonetheless, she boldly ventured into the fray last year, headlining not one but two spine-tingling productions, with Joe Lynch's 'Suitable Flesh' being a standout among them. Embarking on a new frontier, Graham now shines as the protagonist in the gritty Western 'Place of Bones,' set to gallop into select cinemas and premium video-on-demand platforms on August 23rd.
Following this thrilling ride, she transitions seamlessly into the heartwarming comedic drama 'Chosen Family,' a project she not only stars in but also penned and directed with impeccable finesse. Brainstorm Media has graciously embraced this labor of love, ensuring its widespread reach. Making its prestigious debut at the 2024 Santa Barbara Film Festival, 'Chosen Family' is poised to warm hearts in theaters nationwide on October 11th.
With a formidable team of Paradigm, RMS Production, and Morris Yorn representing her talents, Graham continues to carve a unique niche in the entertainment landscape, fearlessly exploring new genres and stories that resonate deeply with audiences.
